The volunteer program
of the city of Karlsruhe
Volunteers, we know them from the Olympics and soccer World Cups. They provide information about the program, show the way and look after active participants - they give events a face, even in Karlsruhe! The volunteer program of the City of Karlsruhe is unique in Germany in terms of its character and sustainability. The Karlsruhe volunteers have been part of the city's image and its events since 2015, whether at DAS FESTthe SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE Light Festival or the INIT Indoor Meeting Karlsruhe.
I am a volunteer because it opens up the world to me.
